DI Mike Nash and his team are investigating a series of murders of pedophiles released from prison. The person responsible has helped to free a young girl who was kidnapped by one of these depraved men, but the team still doesn't have any leads. They’re looking for someone who has been victimized, but it will take a lot of detective work and some luck to track down the murderer. Most of the officers (and the reader) are reluctant to see the murderer caught since the “victims” are all so despicable. The novel ends with a hint of the next mystery to come. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

4.75* Brilliant intro to this author and series.

I expected to be a little lost in this book, not having read any of thr previous in the series, but thankfully it stands alone.

The storyline is believable and the tale is pretty satisfying with paedophiles getting their just desserts, and the final reveal. There was only one moment where a 'jump' felt plonked-in and required a tad too much suspension of disbelief, but that arc went nowhere and what followed got the book back on track in terms of 'I can go with this'.

The ending was in part sad, in part closure, I think, and somewhat unemotional given the timeline the killer(s?) was/were on, but again, justice got done. There's times when it feels like vigilantism is a good thing, and this was one of them, but also with some very decent policing.

Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. But evil still lives out on the windswept Yorkshire moors, and so does vengeance! Wow! Fantastic book and series! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! This book had chilling suspense, gruesome murders, mystery, intrigue, action, and some shocking jaw dropping twists! The storyline was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! I can’t wait for more! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books (my absolute favorite! They know how to pick fabulous books) for sharing this book with me!
